Irish Dictionary .org — An Introduction

This English Irish dictionary online is made available to you freely and openly. It's a unique online resource for the Irish language community, in that it's actively expanding thanks to submissions by people like you and me — the users of the online dictionary.

But first, our main aim is to have an accessible dictionary, with fast search. That's why you have the big search field at the top of every page of the site. You can search in both Irish and English, both languages will be included in your search.

Second, our aim for the site is for simplicity of adding new words. It's quick and easy, if you're interested in helping to grow the list of Irish words.

Building a dictionary for the Irish community in this manner isn't perfect. There are many words that are yet to be added. More than that, the structure of the dictionary is relatively simplistic and doesn't give all relevant grammatical and usage information. But to have a usable — and useful — Irish dictionary built by the Irish community is better than not.

You can read more about this project on the about us page. You can help this project grow by adding words that are missing. And you can participate by helping to validate the list of submissions.
